Florence Reed In New York
The above heading does not
mean that Florence Reed o f Es­
tacada is'visitin g the nation’s
metropolis, bui calls attention to
the five part Gold Rooster film,
to lie shown Wednesday evening,
June 7th. at the Estacada Family
Theatre.
Last Saturday evening’s pic­
ture show was about the most
entertaining ever witnessed here,
with a Fatty Arbuckle two reel
comedy, creating hysterics a-
mong the women spectators.
“ 1 have this week installed
entirely new fixtures in the new
punt-office building, f o r m e r l y
known as the Estacada Bank
Bldg, on Main St., and will move
the post-office into the new loca­
tion June 1st or 2nd.
The fixtures include the latest
patterns o f keyless boxes, and
an effort will be made to allow
all parties to secure a new post-
office box numbered the same as
the present boxes. On the open
ing day, an attendant will be
present in the lobby, who will
give each patron the combina­
tion to his or her box. ,
I trust I may be able to serve
the public equally as well as my
predecessor has done and if any­
one has any complaint to make,
I trust they will come direct to
me, as I am the person responsi­
ble for the office and its work­
ings and will strive to please all.
As everyone knows, complaints
registered with the neighbors do
no one good, nor help rectify
such evil as may exist.”
Signed W. A. Heylman

It ia said that manufacturer» nf armor have "gouged” the country in the past, and that a government
plant is newstwry to secure armor more cheaply.
